1 Dear Customer: has been advised that you have recently experienced a loss to your property. To ensure that we are able to provide prompt release of insurance claim funds, the following documents will need to be filled out and returned to the Loss Drafts Department: INTENT TO REPAIR DOCUMENT This is a document that tells us you plan to repair the property using the insurance claim funds. INSURANCE COMPANY ADJUSTER S WORKSHEET This is sometimes referred to as the adjuster s estimate, adjuster s summary, or scope of repairs. It provides a breakdown of the damage to the property and the insurance company s estimate of the amount of money it will take to complete the repairs. Note: All pages are required. SIGNED CONTRACT/PROPOSAL This is the contract between you and the contractor completing the repairs. It must list the property address, a description of the repairs being completed, and the dollar amount that you have agreed upon. Both you and your contractor must sign this document. Note: If the amount of the contract is more than the loss draft claim funds, your contractor must complete the Contractor Acknowledgement of Payment Procedures form. Prior to release of the final disbursement, the contractor must submit an invoice showing a paid-in-full OR a balance that is less than or equal to the remaining claim funds. CONDITIONAL WAIVER OF LIEN This is a form to be completed by the contractor completing the repairs, and is the contractor's promise to not place a lien on the property for any other reason than non-payment. Note: All blanks must be completed, and the amount listed on the Conditional Waiver of Lien must match the amount on the signed contract, as that is the base amount that the contractor is promised to receive. CONTRACTOR S LICENSE OR BOND This is a document supplied by the licensing board for your state. We need a copy of this document to process your claim; however, if there is no licensing or certification requirement to complete the repairs in your state, a written statement from the jurisdiction where your property is located may be submitted instead. INSURANCE DRAFT The check issued from the insurance company for repairs to your property. All parties listed as a payee must endorse the check. BUILDING PERMITS This is a written authorization produced by the local government to construct a building or make improvements. All claims over $25,000 require either a copy of the permit or a letter from the local government stating a permit is not required.

2 CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION This is a document that shows you agree that the work is complete and you are happy with the results. You must complete this form once repairs are 100% complete. Complete this form only if you cannot sign the 100% Inspection Results form. CONTRACTOR S W-9 This is a tax form used to identify the contractor and is needed before any payments are made in the name of the contractor. Upon receipt of the insurance draft, it will be deposited into an account established for repairs to the property. Once funds have been confirmed available and all documents have been received and verified as correct, an initial draw will be disbursed in the amount of one-third of the total claim proceeds. All drafts will be payable to you, the borrower, and your contractor until the contract is paid-in-full. All repairs must be completed by a licensed contractor; private repairs are not permitted. All insurance checks will be sent to your mailing address on file via regular mail unless you provide a prepaid mailer (with a label printed by an overnight carrier) that lists your contact information as both the shipper and receiver. No prepaid mailer will be used that lists the Loss Drafts Department or as the shipper. An inspection is required when repairs are 50% complete; when 50% completion is confirmed, one-half of the remaining claim funds will be released. Another inspection is required when repairs are 90%-100% complete with no structural work remaining; after 90%-100% completion is confirmed, all of the remaining claim funds will be released. Inspections will be charged at a cost of $35 each as an advance on your mortgage, and will appear on your monthly statement. Please contact our office to order these inspections. A representative will contact you to schedule an appointment to inspect the property. If an attorney or public adjuster has been included as a payee on your claim check, please contact our office for an important notice. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us toll-free at between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm EST. Any documents and correspondence may be faxed to us at Please include your loan number on any and all faxes sent to us.
